The word Alchemy points me to the notion of finding beauty in the ordinary and mundane. It is how I photograph - I strive to find the extraordinary, sometimes in unlikely places. In a recent workshop, I learned that my purpose and passion is to play and explore whatever is wonderful and authentic in this life journey, as well as to encourage and inspire others to do the same. Through this blog, I invite you to come along as I play and explore in my Wonderland!

Lighting Penny
Today was another busy day... which involved a photo shoot with our friend Penny, so I could get some practice in with lighting. Hubby kindly came along to be my lighting assistant again.
I didn't want to shoot in Yaletown or Gastown again... and wanted somewhere different, somewhere I haven't shot in. So, we ventured out to Coal Harbour. That area is a bit more challenging for me to shoot. It seems I just love the urban background - bricks, graffiti walls, decrepit buildings, etc. Coal Harbour is a bit more "natural," although I tried to stay away from anything that looked too pristine. I saw this stone balcony with ivy and thought to give it a shot.
